In forums. You know how some people jump into discussions while others just watch (while breathing heavily πŸ˜›)

Which planet would suggest someone's a lurker? Mars? Since it's the planet of action? Or Venus maybe as it represents socialising.


Do you lurk? Do you not? Do you lurk in real life? Do you like taking part or would you rather stant in the corner and watch?

Where's your Mars and Venus? Plus houses if you can!

Most of the time I lurk (online and off). I prefer to call it "observing"

Venus- Libra
Mars- Virgo

I posted my houses somewhere... I will look for them and copy paste.

Also Venus in Aries 2.10 and Mars in Cancer 22.46, like aPiscesPrincess.

Venus in house 11 and Mars in house 3

I stay waiting, I will only discuss in case of interest and only fight in case of injustice. Same in real life.

It depends on my mood whether I lurk or not. Usually I can't keep my mouth shut (or my typing fingers still) if something makes me mad or strikes a nerve though lol. I would say I don't lurk very often though.
My venus is in Aries and my mars is in Cancer. I think venus is in my first house and mars is in my fourth house.. but the house thing confuses me, so I'm not sure.



Another Venus in Aries Cancer in mars combo here πŸ™‚ . I lurk at some things that peek my intresting and I know nothing about on here, but if I really think I can contribute or find it too interesting I will difinetly post. I do not think I lurk to much in the outside world unless again something really intrigues me then I feel like I have to :p .

"Someone will start a topic that I'm moderately interested in. I'll write a response. Pour my heart into it, then re-write it from an objective perspective. I'll read it back, and think that it has absolutely no value in the universe what-so-ever. Say "Balls to this" and not post"

I do this all the time lol

I lurked for about a month or so - checking out the site and peeps. Me like. πŸ™‚ So I just recently created an account and started posting. I cruise the boards and if I think I've got something to contribute, I post. Re: IRL - it is good to be observant, and good to participate... All about balance and choice.

Venus - Leo, 4th house
Mars - Libra, 5th house

I don't lurk in real life and on sites... I can't help it. Sometimes I overhear a conversation and I hear people struggling to remember something and I know. I will pipe up and tell them. Most people are gracious some people give me that who in the hell was talking to you stare. Then I'm like fine I see that ignorance is bliss for you. Not that I'm all knowing (that would be so boring if you knew everything about everything), but if I can help out I will. I appreciate it when others do that for me. I have a heavy Virgo influence in my chart so yeah, that's probably where it comes from.

I do lurk I guess you can call it when I read a thread and I'm not interested so I won't reply or if I have nothing to add I won't reply as well. I'll post my chart.

Interesting concept. But I think it would have to do with the 11th house. πŸ™‚

What sign is in your 11th house and are there any planets? If so, which planets? πŸ˜„



Maybe the 3rd house too? Also, the aspects to those particular planets?

Mine are:
Venus in Aries in the 11th in Pisces.
Mars in Cancer in the 3rd in Cancer.

You have the same as me! houses included!

@Wasis: I saw your chart and it is very similar to mine. In terms of signs the only difference is the moon, mine is in Aries.



Cool. We are practically astro twins. πŸ™‚. How's that Aries moon? Fun?

Makes me impulsive and bored when doing always the same thing but makes me take the action, when I am "in fire" I will just do what needs to be done.

I'm a Cancer Sun with Moon in Capricorn and Venus in Cancer.
I'm very much a lurker.
I don't really talk unless I have something important or valuable to say (even in real life). I don't want to make an ass out of myself by blurting out something stupid or irrelevant lol

I have no problem with people lurking.

If I was that worried about it I would create my own forum with passwords... etc. I'm already part of a forum like that.

I'll comment on a thread that is worth commenting on but otherwise I am just reading over it to see if it interests me.

Lurk all you want.

venus: aqua
mars: aqua
rising: fucking scorp

Yup total lurker here. I will Google you and find your address, use Google Maps to see what your home looks like, phone number, age, zodiac sign, birth chart, and have a collection of your photos saved on my computer if I REALLY like you lol.

And I will act nonchalant in real life when I already know all this info about you πŸ˜‰
